With coilovers you can adjust the hieght of the car so how low is up to you. The biggest question should be what rate springs do you want to use? Is this going to be an autocross car or a track car or do you want to look cool? Since you used the word slammed I'm guessing your more intersted in looks so skip the coilovers and save your money. Get a set of Intrax springs and some KYB non adjustable struts and be done with it.

Be sure and compare your initial height measurements to mine. I've been accused of giving FALSE information in the past, even though I simply gave the information as i saw it.

Anything below 2" will get you into big clearance troubles, and your tire alignment will be so off that you're going to be changing them every 2 months due to uneven wear.&nbsp This is unsafe especially in the rain.

I'm just warning, do what you want to do, but you'll be sorry for slamming it. To get that low you're going to need super stiff springs to keep the tires from hittin the wheel wells and the front tires from bending the fender and ripping themselves apart around corners. You're going to end up with a ride so harsh it'll crush discs in your spine, rattle the car to pieces, and so low it'll scrape your undercarriage raw. Just really think about it before you go spending big bucks on somethin you're going to hate in a month or two.
